This detailed engraved map, titled "CARTE DES NOUVELLES PHILIPPINES" (Map of the New Philippines), was engraved by Jacobus van der Schley. Published in 1757 as part of Antoine François Prévost's "Histoire générale des voyages" (General History of Voyages), specifically from Volume X, No. 37 of its Supplement, the map depicts a scattered group of islands identified as the New Philippines. It illustrates coastlines, geographical features, and navigational lines, reflecting 18th-century European efforts to chart and understand distant oceanic regions.

Jacobus van der Schley (1715–1779) was a prolific Dutch engraver, known for his work on numerous maps, portraits, and illustrations for significant publications of the 18th century. He contributed extensively to Antoine François Prévost's "Histoire générale des voyages," translating geographical information into precise and detailed engraved plates. Antoine François Prévost (1697–1763) was a prominent French novelist and historian, best known for compiling and editing the monumental 20-volume "Histoire générale des voyages," which brought together a vast collection of travel accounts and was richly illustrated with maps and prints.
